WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER SUSPICIOUS?
Shoplifting or purchasing:
• Large quantity of ammunition, hydrogen peroxide, model aircraft fuel, or compressed fuels (e.g., propane).
• Unusually large quantity of fertilizer type 34-0-0 or 32-2-0.
• Large quantity of watches, electronic timers, or kitchen timers.
• A combination of unusual items (e.g., sponges, candles, matches, bolt cutters).
• Firearms and ammunition out of season.
• Night-vision equipment and camouflage apparel.
• Pipe (particularly in short lengths), end caps, and pipe nipples in the same transaction, particularly when vague about their use.
• Making suspicious inquiries about equipment (tank size, spray range).
• Using a rental vehicle or a vehicle with an out-of-state or temporary license plate to transport combustible chemicals, fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate (particularly 34-0-0), or other materials.
• Asking about a particular fertilizer without a stated purpose or displaying no interest in alternative fertilizers.
• Refusing to complete appropriate paperwork for firearms purchases.
• Using cash for large transactions.
• Using a credit card in someone else’s name.
It is important to remember that just because of someone’s speech, appearance, way of life is different, it does not mean that he or she is suspicious
